UPDATE:
OK SO - I drained the system and took apart the GPU block. I found something interesting - the jet plane was bent (significantly - around 40 degrees - obviously it wasn't like this in the assembled block but when it came out it almost flew out as i took the casing off), and not flat. I...
Yeah perhaps indeed. Now that Ive noticed my misaligned jet plate, I'm gonna try to align it up and then call it. No more time wasted on this. My previous watercooling loop (which was an eisbaer extreme + alphacool eisblock aurora + 2x280 rads) ran at 65 on the same GPU - I think your view has...
I don't think there is such a thing as too much thermal paste. Multiple real life tests have demonstrated this, with most concurring that more is safer for a GPU which is direct die and so complete coverage is important.
The jet blade is fitted the correct way but it's slightly off centre...
Looks fine? Right way round...slightly to the right but otherwise fine
However, I have noticed that the coolant runs between the block and the plexi glass essentially running over the channels rather than through them.lovely quality control from EK
The render test does nothing to the GPU - no change in temps.
When running Cinebench, the CPU does not go over 68c, in fact it stays around 65/66 mostly - when gaming it is under or at 50c. this is with a all core 4.5Ghz OC @ 1.15v
I'm baffed - does this point to the GPU block if the CPU seems...
How the hell do you get that? Liquid metal?
I've checked the inlet and outlet ports, they are all correctly connected so the flow direction is correct. Plus when I filled it up I could see the flow was circulating correctly.
Not really sure what's left apart from bigger radiators, or my CPU is...
I reapplied the pads again too (with new pads) just in case one of them was causing obstruction. No difference, in fact, it might be a little worse now. Running a few degrees hotter..oh well
Just for info, I'm gonna try remount the block again. Everything looks fine from taking it apart - paste covered the whole die on both sides.
Update - made no difference
I put this loop in 5 days ago - cleaned and reapplied all thermal paste. I recleaned and reapplied paste to the GPU block twice after that. New coolant, new components (flushed with distilled water). My idle temps are ok: 29c on GPU and 35c on CPU. The P14s create abit more more pressure on...
Hmm, that's interesting. Makes mine seem reasonable. I undervolted to 880mV @ 1930mhz and it tops out at around 54/55c
Using the same fan set up:
Pump > GPU > CPU > RADS (2x140mm FANS OUT) > RADS (2x140mm FANS IN) > PUMP.
All 140mm fans - plus one 140mm fan as another exhaust on the back...
hah - yes i meant 1000rpm! This is a good point - I found another review which is more in line with what I am getting (slightly higher as they only used one rad to cool a CPU + GPU) so suffice to say 60c isn't too bad it seems
that is for the core - the hotspot tops out at 70 when the core is 61. The CPU is overclocked - 4.5 on all cores at 1.15v - the Skylake X do run quite hot i know that.
Yeah all the air bubble are out. I am undervolting but running 0.918v @ 2000Mhz - i could run it a little slower for sure...
Hello there, long time forum lurker - i finally went and bought the components for a custom loop. I am familiar with watercooling having used AIOs for a while and moving to the expandable Alphacool Eisbaer Extreme system to add the Alphacool Nexxos GPU block and have a semi custom loop running...
I have this exact problem with the 38GN950-B and an Nvidia 3080ti (and had the problem with my 2080ti before). I have an Asus X299 Prime Deluxe mobo. This occurs whether or not CSM is enabled or disabled but it happens more consistently if Resizable BAR is enabled in the BIOS (which disables...
